Impressive.. great when it all works too!
I’ve been very happy since I moved everything I could to Synology.

@toggledbits time for a custom mqtt template
LOL! I think for one topic, it might be a bit of overkill, but then, that's kind of how we roll, isn't it?

Yep, the zwave network is on the stick. That's why you have to regularly backup it.
You may consider something using serial-to-IP:

RFC: When disaster strikes (sorry it's a bit verbose)@CatmanV2 yep. My syno is the backup plan. The only prod containers on the syno are mosquitto and influxdb. This way, in case of failure, the mqtt server is still running and retained messages are picked up from the queue. With this configuration, I avoid the slower cpu of the syno. The nuc one is definitely faster.

I'm on my 4th major breakdown in 12 years of home automation. Coming from this and from an enterprise job, I know how to over-engineer
I got more RAM from my Syno, and I'm completely on docker. Even my own small script are now docker-ized.I have a NUC that's running Reactor, Home Assistant, ZwaveJS, a couple of other obscure things, and the storage of those container is backupped every hour, day, week and month. I have the same containers on my Syno and it's just a matter of adding the NUC's IP address, update them and start them. It usually takes no more than 15 minutes. I have switched to Ubiquiti for my network and I have backup devices for that as well.
I have two new villas on the beach (3 hours drive one-way) and I'm now exploring the options. One will be a rental, one for us. I'm tempted to replicate something similar to our main house, but I want to be extra sure that everything is working without my intervention. I don't know, but I feel your pain.

all that said, many echo devices have line in and it’s always sending out the sound. This could certainly be another low-fi option.
I have a portable ikea outdoor speaker for the pool, paired via bt with an echo and sending out line in coming from the tv. I’ll probably do something similar in the new beach house.
